Episode Details

Elandon Roberts is back with the Steelers. Even though we’re all fans of him and the return, why now? It seems like some dots are being connected that the team could be moving on from another player at that position. He has limitations to his game against the pass, but is great against the run and brings good leadership to the locker room. Some of the big insiders think the NFL will be ‘trade crazy’ this year as we approach the deadline. Could Patrick Queen be the player on the move? Kind of tough for a team to make a deal given his contract and ability. Poni suggested that the Steelers ‘looked into’ making a move for Marvin Harrison Jr. before he was dealt to the Texans. If the Steelers are still in need of a receiver, what should they give up for Brian Thomas Jr.? Intern Jack called in to say the Steelers should not trade for any WR on the market because Germie Bernard shouldn’t be blocked. We talked about why the Cowboys would be fun to cover, but hate to have as your favorite team all due to Jerry Jones. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said the NFL is still moving ahead with the game in Paris between the Steelers and Saints as riots are ongoing in France. Mike told us that Plan B would be moving the game to New Orleans since the Saints are the home team. The international games are such a big deal to the NFL that they will do everything in their power to make them happen. What happens to fans that purchased big travel packages in the event the game gets moved? Mike has doubts Tyreek Hill will sign anywhere anytime soon due to his legal issues and recent injury. How crazy will the NFL trade deadline be this season? Mike, a Pittsburgh guy at heart, told the guys about 10/14/1992 – when his baseball fandom died as the Braves beat the Pirates in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS. Mike took some shots at the WVU defense on his way out.
